"Sorry, Futaba, this was my mistake." In the dark and humid cave, Eluma, who was wearing heavy armor, untied her arm armor. She looked at the wound that penetrated into the bone marrow and said with a wry smile: "I was careless. "It's a crucial battle. The Dragon's Back Mountains in Tariq have been occupied by the Demon King's army for three years.
As long as this mountain range can be captured, Eluma's counterattack, which has been planned for nearly two years, can completely regain the situation, trap the Demon King's army in the cold northern zone, and further compress the front line.
The first half of this battle has been going smoothly. Whether it is the assassin team led by Futaba or the vanguard army led by Eluma, they have been victorious in a crushing manner. One-third of the entire mountain range has been destroyed in less than a day. Within a short period of time, it was returned to the hands of the human army.
Just when the morale of the human legion was boosted and they were preparing to counterattack the entire mountain range in one go, reality gave everyone a head-on blow.
Torea's power is outrageous. Futaba said nothing, but silently spread the healing potion evenly on Eluma's wound.
Looking at the terrible penetrating scar, after a moment of silence, Futaba said: "Zhou Li is right." Eluma was stunned. For a long time, she sighed, not knowing whether it was relief or bitterness. He shook his head and said softly: "Yes, he is right."
"The backbone of the Demon King's Army has always been the Demon King, but we have focused our attention on those monsters. He is right, we are still careless." At the beginning, the victory on the frontal battlefield made Eluma feel anxious. .
She really wanted to keep the Demon King's army out of the north immediately to prevent that horrific famine from spreading to the world again.
She once thought that the Demon King's army was not powerful without infecting more humans with famine and the Devil's Breath. She could completely repel the Demon King's army before anything happened and prevent the tragedy from happening again.
It wasn't until the Demon King easily harvested the lives of the coalition forces on the battlefield with a giant scythe that Eluma remembered that the Demon King's army was an army commanded by the Demon King.
And the Demon King is the real source. Powerful was no longer enough to describe the Demon King's strength. Eluma only remembered that her three most elite legions gathered together and could even compete with three god-given level warriors.
But in front of the terrifying existence shrouded in black mist, the three legions could not even stand in front of the Demon King for thirty seconds.
That was a one-sided massacre, without any skills at all, just crushing by pure strength.
What was originally an offensive battle quickly turned into a breakout battle. In the end, only Eluma and Futaba were left in the entire coalition.
In order to protect Futaba, Eluma forcefully ate a sickle from the Demon King. If it weren't for the blessing of the Twelve Righteous Gods, I'm afraid Eluma would have split into two.
Later, Futaba and Eluma escaped into a cave. Relying on the blessing given by the God of Literature, Eluma reluctantly transferred the spatial coordinates of the cave to an unknown area and escaped the search of the Demon King's army.
But the bad news is that Eluma has already felt the breath of that terrifying existence, and she will find this place before long.
Thinking of this, Eluma looked at Futaba aside, her eyes full of guilt. After three restarts, this girl named Futaba will appear by his side and become his most trusted partner.
But every time she ends up facing death. Am I... harming them?
Eluma's heart ached. Even though she knew that only she would retain consciousness after the restart, she still believed that every death of Futaba was caused by herself.
If she hadn't met Futaba and brought her into the human coalition, this taciturn girl might not have been killed on the battlefield, and she might have had her own plain but perfect life.
"I'm sorry..." Just as Futaba was planning what expression he would use when meeting Eluma in the next reincarnation, Eluma suddenly spoke and said to Futaba: "Futaba, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Futaba shook her head. She knew that even if she was killed, she would enter the next timeline and meet Eluma again.
So she didn't care about this death, she just silently calculated the experience she gained in her heart, and began to plan how to guide Eluma in the right direction for the next restart.
However, Eluma said again: "Futaba, I'm sorry for causing you trouble every time."
"Huh?" Futaba was stunned. She even thought that she had been exposed. Eluma knew that she could retain her memory in the restart.
But what Eluma said next dispelled her idea.
"But it's okay." Eluma slowly stretched out her hand and gently touched Futaba's cheek, with a relieved smile on her cheek stained by dust and blood.
"I won't put you in crisis again."
"I will protect you." If Eluma said these words to others, then that person would think that Eluma had been driven crazy by the desperate situation and did not know what to say.
But Futaba is different. She knows that Eluma can retain her memory, and Eluma's character will change to varying degrees after each restart.
She soon understood that this was the farewell between Eluma and herself. In the next life, Eluma wants to avoid herself and prevent herself from participating in these battles.
How is that possible? ! Futaba suddenly became wary. She knew that the personality of the demigod girl in front of her would change every time she restarted.
For example, Eluma in the first life was cheerful and generous, while Eluma in the second life was a bit eager to do everything, and at the same time, her eyes would appear gloomy.
But it is undeniable that no matter which life Eluma is in, her kindness and gentleness cannot be changed.
"I want to accompany you." Futaba felt that being stupid for the first time was a desperate thing. She clearly wanted to make a long speech, telling Eluma that she wanted to follow her and fight with her, but no matter No matter how she thought about it, she didn't know what she should say in order to convince Eluma that she would take her with her in the next life without revealing that she could retain her memory.
In desperation, in the dark cave, Futaba used up her lifelong vocabulary to choke out one sentence:
"I don't care, I will accompany you." Eluma was stunned, and then her eyes softened. She nodded, smiled softly and said, "Okay, I will accompany you too." It's over.
Based on her knowledge of Eluma III, Futaba knew that once Eluma showed such a motherly expression, it meant that the other party must be tolerating her.
Anyway, no matter what, I may not be able to impress the other party and let her find him after the next restart and let him join the Demon King's army.
What to do, what to do? For the first time, Futaba felt
With the "eager" emotion, she felt as if she was shouting inside, but there was no sound on the surface.
But when she saw Eluma's eyes full of farewell and expectation, she swallowed those words again.
War is cruel, and Eluma is the god who leaves the most beautiful glory for the cruel world.
In the past twenty years, Eluma relied on her charisma, and a total of sixty-three countries were willing to fully help Eluma and obey her commands unconditionally.
You know, even Emperor Chong could only win the support of less than forty countries. In all of this, in addition to the efforts of Zhou Li and Futaba, the most important thing is Eluma's great character like a shining pearl.
It can be said that her character can already be described as great. Without Eluma, it would have been impossible for the human coalition to be formed in such a short period of time. Her temperament that makes people trust from the heart, and her noble virtues that are not inferior to the knights, all made Eluma a A recognized leader.
Futaba, who has witnessed Eluma's growth for three consecutive lives, has to admit that Eluma in this life has become more of a backbone.
But at the same time, her tenderness and love for herself and Zhou Li never diminished. After two lives, Eluma treats Futaba with tenderness and love from the bottom of her heart. It can be said that she treats her as one of her own relatives.
Many people believe that Futaba and Eluma should be related by blood, or even close relatives of each other.
The same is true for Zhou Li. Bits and pieces of getting along with Zhou Li came to mind, and for some reason, Futaba felt a sense of loss.
In this life, she didn't have much contact with Zhou Li, or not as much as in the previous two lives. When facing death, Futaba felt regret.
Maybe, I am escaping. Doing the math, after three lifetimes combined, I have lived with Zhou Li and Eluma for more than sixty years.
These days were fragmented, and most of them were interspersed with bloody wars, but now, Futaba felt that the days she spent with Zhou Li and Eluma were all shining with the brilliance she longed for.
So that's it... At this time, what Zhou Li had always imagined...
Futaba, who had doubts about the "beautiful dimension", suddenly understood. She finally understood why the dimension Zhou Li recognized was such a bland and boring world.
If it were me, I would choose this way... The approach of death did not make Futaba hysterical, nor did it make her feel scared. On the contrary, Futaba began to unconsciously recall her experiences under the pressure of death. The lives lived with Zhou Li and Eluma involved.
She thought that Eluma would remember the birthday she casually talked about and took Zhou Li and Tiya to hold a small but exquisite birthday party for her.
There was also that busy football match where Zhou Li shoveled his own ball away with a sliding shovel, but ended up kicking it into his own goal.
Tiya laughed very loudly at that time, and it took her a while to realize that she and Zhou Li were on the same team.
Some chaotic daily life, nonsense at the dinner table, and conversations at night. I have been imitating other people's expressions and emotions, but once I get in front of Zhou Li and Eluma, I can't help but shed those hypocritical expressions.
They won't dislike Futaba, and Futaba doesn't have to act emotional in front of them. Here they lived, got along, and finally started over in their ordinary daily life during the war.
If it were me, I would make the same choice as you. She smiled softly in her heart, and at this moment, Futaba's hand unconsciously placed on her heart.
For the first time, she felt her heart begin to beat slowly, not to provide herself with life, but to pour the existence called emotions into her mind.
It turns out that this is the emotion. Turning his head, he stretched out his hand and ran his fingers across the unconscious Eluma's cheek. A trace of determination flashed in Futaba's eyes.
Do not worry. Futaba closed her eyes, sensing the powerful presence outside the door, and said softly: "I will find you."
"You can't hide from me." Boom! ! ! ! ! ! The barrier was completely shattered, and the scarlet eyes were particularly terrifying in the darkness.
The girl held a giant scythe and slowly walked into the cave. She looked at Futaba and Eluma on the ground. There was no emotion in her eyes.
it does not matter. Facing the threat of death, Futaba regained her emotions and there was no fear in her eyes. There was only a touch of ridicule and expectation in her eyes.
"We will compete again." Futaba opened his mouth and left a sentence softly. The Demon King in front of him said nothing, but glanced meaningfully at the stone wall beside him.
She raised the giant scythe, and the black breath gradually condensed on the blade. Just as the giant scythe wrapped the devil's breath and cut off the bodies of the two people in front of her, a violent roar suddenly exploded from the stone wall.
boom! ! ! The long sword cut through the black mist, leaving a trace. The young man's cheek was scratched with blood from the gravel, and the scarlet color stained the corners of his eyes. Zhou Li flicked his wrist, and the long sword, mixed with thunder, pierced the Demon King's heart.
Huh~ A faint sound of wind sounded, and the Demon King's figure disappeared under the blade of the sword. This was not the use of space, but her speed was too fast, as if she was moving instantaneously.
"Zhou Li?!" Shuangye couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the person clearly. Eluma also woke up and looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
"I left traces in your arm armor." Holding the Master Sword tightly in his hand, Zhou Li stared at the Demon King in front of him, and his tone rose slightly: "This time, I deceived you." Many times , Zhou Lidu wanted to secretly use the void to fight on the front line, but because his strength had not increased, his clumsy void walking would be noticed by Eluma every time, and then recalled.
But this time, Zhou Li succeeded. After learning that Eluma and Futaba were in danger, he activated the Void Gate without hesitation, found them at the cost of nearly half his soul, and came to this cave.
Eluma looked at Zhou Li's back in disbelief. She could not imagine that she had been so alienated from him in this life, but he appeared in front of her in the end, choosing to die with her as always.
She opened her mouth, but no words came out. In Futaba's mind, the words that Eluma from the false dimension once said to her emerged.
Even if he is in danger, even if he is seriously injured, even if the relationship between us is not filled with beautiful pasts and memories like this false world, I will be with him, right?
"That's right." Looking at Zhou Li's back, Shuangye murmured: "You will accompany him."
"And he will never give up on you."
